Hi there

I was wondering if someone could help me out here; I am in a bit of a dilemma regarding my gmat score.

Undergrad GPA 2.8/4.0 and 3.0 in the last 2 years from renowned school

GMAT: 610 - Q 35 (39%) V 39 (87%) AWA 6/6 91%

Work exp: 2 years in Marketing and 3 internships while in school all renowned organizations

I have no idea what happened to my Quant section, but I am so busy with work I really do not want to do another re-write!!!

My target schools are Rotman or Schulich part time MBA. I have talked to both over the phone and they have said I stand a good chance.

Do I really? Or do they just want the application fee?

Should I rewrite? (my practice scores are all above 650 +)

Please tell me what are my chances?!

thank you!!!!

Thanks for your questions.

In doing some research on your behalf, I do believe you stand a chance at both Rotman and Schulich. However, I am frankly more concerned about your GPA than I am your GMAT. The Rotman webpage says they require a minimum of a 3.0 GPA. https://www.rotman.utoronto.ca/mba/admis ... m#criteria
and Schulich makes a similar statement. Before you apply, I think maybe you should follow up with them directly about this. Your GMAT score, on the other hand, is within the middle 50% range for each program.

As always, strong essays and recommendations can go a long way in helping you overcome a quantitative weakness in your application.

Good luck to you!

"Target Test Prep is the closest to the official version of the GMAT exam, about 99% accuracy in terms of the quality and quantity of information. The course has excellently created singular sets of focused lessons and tests for every possible topic that one could come across in the official GMAT exam."

"The TTP course maximizes the efficiency of the time you spend studying. It will take time and effort but I could almost guarantee that if you complete the course exactly as it is laid out you will get an amazing score. They also have a very responsive team willing to help with any questions you might have."

"TTP has two things that I think no other test prep company offers: A teaching approach that reinforces understanding and an attitude that will give you the mental preparedness needed to succeed on the test. TTP gives you a deep understanding of the concept you need to know while teaching you how to think."
